Background
Section 19.561, subdivision (g) (46) of the Budget Act of 2023 appropriated $3,100,000 from the State General Fund for the Redevelopment on the Miracle Mile: Public Safety/Maintenance Substation/Parking.
This funding will allow for the acquisition and renovations to establish a Maintenance Substation as well as other maintenance, safety, and parking improvements in the Miracle Mile corridor (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). Improvements may include areas along Harding Way between Lincoln Street and El Dorado Street.
In September 2024, Public Works issued a Single Available Source NOFA in the amount of $3,100,000.

• Maintenance Substation acquisition and renovations $1,665,000
• Public Safety improvements $750,000
• Parking improvements/maintenance $685,000
TOTAL $3,100,000
The proposed property to be acquired and renovated to a Maintenance Substation is located at 230-250 Dorris Place and 231 Bedford Road (APN 113-364-050). The property is 0.16 acres, zoned General Commercial and is well suited for a Maintenance Substation. Any remaining funds not utilized for items noted in the Acquisition and Development Budget will be reallocated to the Miracle Mile Pedestrian Safety Improvements & Revitalization, Project No. WT24043.
The MMCID will be required to enter into a Grant Agreement. The Grant Agreement outlines the roles and responsibilities of the parties along with the requirements and conditions related to the grant funding.
It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving a grant award in the amount of $3,100,000 to the MMCID to acquire and establish a Maintenance Substation and complete other identified development improvements (Attachment B - Acquisition and Development Budget).
